try soaking it w/ penetrating oil for a day, if not done already.
Maybe you have to take the manifold off. ..................... "Climate change is no longer science. It's politics... Climate change is also about power. Power to control.... It's about who gets to decide: how much energy we will have... where that energy will come from... what it will cost... It's about simulations, scenarios and monsters conjured up by computer models that should never be used to chart government policy -- especially on matters that will profoundly affect our livelihoods, living standards, life spans and dreams of a better future. "So hold onto your wallets, and hope you can hold onto your homes, cars and jobs. You're about to be put on a wild political roller coaster." - Paul Driessen, TownHall.com |

I am not familiar with the swirl valve, so these are just some ideas off the top of my head:
Can you get a small pair of Vice Grips on the screw head? There are phillips head "sockets" that may do the trick. I can't remember where I got mine, but I think it was an auto parts store that sold PROTO tools. Can you tack weld a nut on top, then use a wrench? |

If it has a head that is not flush and sticks out a little snap on sells sockets that are 1/4 and 3/8 drive that goes on a ratchet. When you loosen it the spirals in the socket will bite in and loosen it. They work great!

thanks for all the help. after soaking it over night and a 6 pack later I saw a tool on TV called PRO GRABIT and I usaully see those adds and never pay them no mind but I said what the hell and got one at Ace hardware. man that thing works great. $10 for the bit, one side hones out the hole and the other side cuts into the bolt as you back it out. If you have any problems with stripped bolt or screws thats what you need.
again thanks everyone not going with sas. atleast not right now. |
